Italian Black Summer Truffles
Black summer truffles are more subtle than the winter variety. Shave truffle over cooked potatoes, toss with herbs and a shallot vinaigrette. Thinly shave truffle over scrambled eggs.
White Corn
White corn is a sweet corn variety. Its ears are wrapped in tightly layered pale lime green to white husks. One ear of corn can contain up to 400 kernels growing in rows lengthwise.
Grower
Basil relies on warm soil to grow, hence it thrives in the summer months.
Thai Basil, "Siam Queen" has a spicy-sweet flavor with a licorice, basil aroma. It is a compact plant with green leaves and beautiful pink and purple flowers on red-purple stems. A distinct improvement over older varieties of Thai Basil, Siam Queen's yields are impressive, because the leaves are twice the size.
